Sure, if you let a big group of marines get isolated like that. In reality you're gonna have tank coverage. This just gives you a really quick way of getting a decent split to maximise your effieciency. | ||

Considering even the top zergs in the world rarely do this (multidirectional flanking), it's not something you'll see often. Patrol splitting is more effective than just kiting on creep if a speedling/baneling mix is coming at you from 1 direction.

I use patrol command for the first 3 branches of the Y, and sometimes after that. However, once banelings are close you need to move command to continue splitting if you still have a big cluster. The pictures should give you a decent idea of how far I'm clicking. In general, farther is better. | ||

If this is normal, this technique would probably only work when you are staring at your marines. | ||

But if you for example have a Xel'Naga Watch Tower under control and you see those Banelings rolling earlier, u should be able to react in Time. | ||
